Hi all,
I'm mainly using my new desktop to run audio software (Pro tools). On the Pro tools website they suggest some optimizations for Windows 10:
Two of the optimisations are:
-Disable Turbo Boost and C-State Transition (BIOS)
-Disable Hyper-Threading
Is there any issue/risk in doing this?
Or is it safe to go into the bios and try it?
My computer specs are below:
Thanks.
